@dinkeltje__twitter have you tried following the tutorial at ethereum.org/token ? Where did you get stuck?

Can someone explain to me exactly what you can use etherium for, thanks :)

Alex Van de Sande

@alexvandesande

@alexpimania_twitter to create a crowdsale or a DAO for example

@alexvandesande i have tried the tutorial at ethereum.org/token. The problem is, as someone who is new to ethereum using the Mist Ethereum Wallet (v 0.7.4), you start with zero ether in your account. So when you attempt to deploy the new token contract as part of the tutorial exercise, you are not permitted to as there is no ether in the account. I have attempted mining (admittedly with my PC so expectations are low) and failed to obtain that way. I have also gone to https://zerogox.com/ethereum/wei_faucet and not obtained any using this methideither. I have been stuck on this for a while and am at a bit of a loss. Any help is much appreciated.

@thegooders if you are mining on testnet, you should be able to mine Ether within 30 min

Paul Goodman

@thegooders

@makoto I have had miner turned on for 17 hours

@thegooders then there is some other issue, testnet wont take more than 45mins max.

Paul Goodman

@thegooders

@morpheyesh any suggestions as to a way round this?

@uvizhe

Hi everyone. Please explain me if I'm wrong as I can't get it clear. Are tokens just dumb contracts?

Alex Van de Sande

@alexvandesande

@uvizhe tokens are contracts, yes. You don’t need to insult them, contracts are people too!

@makoto unfortunately there’s no official spec yet. Someone should take that initiative and finalize the version 0 so we can focus on version 1. But if you use the code at ethereum.org.token you’ll be compatible with the wallet

@JohnnyEther They used to give me some free test-ether. But sadly not anymore.

Its been a while since I've checked out the site and to check the status of my initial pre-sale wallet. I took the precautions of downloading and storing the json file, but when I go to open the wallet there's nothing there. Even when I take the pre-sale address tot he site I'm faced with a message that leaves me wondering WTH happen to my Ether. I've emailed support and nothing . No response to my email no phone call. So I pitching my concern to the community. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get some reasonable answers.

@PntA2B_twitter you need to install ethereum wallet on Ubuntu and not Debian to start with. Second: check the size of your Json file. Is it empty? (Try to cat it). Is the extension file correct?

@kuldeep-agg

May i know the difference bettween ethereumjs-library and web3.js

Bob Summerwill

@bobsummerwill

Hey @kuldeep-agg,ethereumjs-lib is an implementation of the EVM written in Javascript. So it is RUNNING a node.web3.js is a JS library for talking to a node over JSON-RPC. It can talk to any compliant node, whatever language they are written in. web3.js is usually what you use to join the front-end of your DAPP with the back-end (the blockchain).
